Rachel Dolezal's Son Has Strong Words for His Mother in Netflix Documentary Clip

Notorious race imposter Rachel Dolezal will not go away.

In 2015, the 40-year-old civil rights activist was catapulted into the national spotlight after she was exposed for lying about her African-American background. Though she later admitted both of her biological parents were white, Dolezal attempted to defend herself by claiming to identify as “trans-black.” The fact that she has refused to change her position has resulted in widespread backlash. And it has apparently impacted her children.

On Wednesday, Netflix released a clip of their upcoming original documentary titled The Rachel Divide. Vulture reports award-winning filmmaker Laura Brownson followed Dolezal and her family over the course of two years, as they struggled to deal with public scrutiny. Though Dolezal said the documentary will help rebuild their lives, her son Franklin isn’t as optimistic.

“This book coming out, and this documentary might just backfire like everything else has backfired,” Franklin said in the clip. “I resent some of her choices, and I resent some of the words she’s spoken in interviews […] She can identify as anything she wants to be, because it’s her business. But when it’s put in the limelight, I don’t think you should be pissing people off more than they already are, unless you want to get bit in the ass from it. She did not choose her words carefully. It affected me, it affected my brother.”

You can check out the clip above. The Rachel Divide is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month, and will be released via Netflix on April 27.

I am surprised he isn’t named “Lamont” or “daChisley” or some such.

You ignorant hicks don’t know how hard it is to be a black woman trapped in a white woman’s body. Every day, looking in the mirror and the person in the glass is looking down on you. At night, having to cross the street to avoid yourself.

She reminds me of Senator Pocahontas Warren from Massachusetts, an Indian princess trapped in a crusty old white woman’s body.

Sorry, by her own hand she cannot go away. She and others like her are now required.

She is the answer to our times’ unspoken question: “What happens when you screw around rewriting unchangeable standards, references and definitions in your own image?”

Rachel Dolezal. Yet another poster child for our dillusionary times who needs to be famous.

Lots of Scriptural references to explain and predict this sort of thing, but we of these times just don’t care.

And so, here we are, waiting for the inevitable consequences.

Lots of Scriptural references about those, too.

I feel sorry for her because she's obviously nuts. Also — and I am being deadly serious — it isn't right that the people who are most vicious towards her for claiming to be black are the same people who aver that Caitlyn Jenner had a “right” to be declared female just because she considered herself a female. Compared to gender, race is incidental.

Rachel Dolezal is clearly insane and deserves to be ridiculed. Even most liberals have the sense to realize she isn't playing with a full deck.

However, I fail to see any significant difference between "I'm a black woman trapped in a white body" and "I'm a woman trapped in a man's body" when it comes to sanity. Both are equally delusional, so why is it that according to liberals the first delusion can be dismissed while the second needs to be indulged and legally protected?

I agree. They are the same people who are defending the white guy in Florida who claims to be a Filipino women. I am not making that up.

A lot of the same liberals deriding Rachel are the same ones defending the white guy in Florida who says he is a Filipino women. I guess you can claim to be anything if you are white (think Pocahontas) unless it’s black.
